She was advertised on another forum looking very sorry for herself all the way over in Italy, I live in Ireland [emoji41] after a lot of messaging paypalling bank transfers WhatsApp and Facebook messages a plan was put into place, thanks to a good guy she had a trip across Europe , Italy Switzerland Holland France Uk and Ireland she finally arrived with me last a couple months ago , it’s very solid being undersealed from the factory but unfortunately the roof skin needs replacing due to a purgalor roof falling on her during her 20 odd years in storage, no major plans as of yet I’d say convert to dry suspension, cooper brakes and a roof skin and take from there [emoji41]

Great project. Looking forward to the updates. It's what this forum is really good for in the age of blink-and-it's-gone facebook.

What's the bracket above the steering column?

FYI, the Mini Cooper Register's Innocenti guru is a guy called Foster Charlton. I'm sure he could point you in the direction of all the unique Innocent bits you'll be looking for.

It’s a steering lock on the column, I’ll make a burst into it when the weather changes, the car is pretty much complete as is with minimal rust the worst of it being the roof, I bought a few other bits for it from the same guy while I was at it, I’ll most likely convert it to dry suspension and I’m currently looking for a set of cooper front brakes

As well as holes the roof has a lot of dents. I don't know how good your bodywork skills are but you will pay a lot in labour to get that looking right when its freshly sprayed. I know the roof panel is expensive but I think it would be worth the investment. The other option I have seen done is to bond a fiberglass roof over the one there.

Roof finally arrived from Italy, couple of little bumps along the way but the body man can sir them, I’m happy with its condition for a 40 plus year old skin and also purchased a rear mount Lucas reverse lamp
